What do you NOT like about wool?
I'm in the process of talking myself out of buying a bunch of adorable (and expensive) wool soakers for my baby & I would like to hear from some people who have tried wool & decided it wasn't for them.
What are the "cons" of using wool? I did a search & couldn't find anything. LOL. Does anyone NOT like wool? ![]() Advertisement |

I don't like wool as a cover. I like wool because it's cute and we use it as clothes.

Re: What do you NOT like about wool?
I use a lot of wool but I hate how long it takes to dry after handwashing it. We live in a humid climate. I also don't like having to handwash and lanolize it. And I hate how if its freshly washed but gets some poop on it that it has to be washed again. But, I still love wool for all the reasons people love it.

Re: What do you NOT like about wool?
I hate the price. So wishing the yarn were cheaper.
If you Put out your washed wool in the washer on spin cycle it dries much faster. In the winter hang it on a hanger over an air vent. It will dry in no time. |

Re: What do you NOT like about wool?
We were allergic.
Washing a lanolizing was a pita for me. I never found a super absorbant fitted for them and the more absorant the fitted the more $ so now it is pricey for wool and pricey for fitteds. I always freaked out about stains or possible stains. It is addictive so once you buy a couple forget it bc then you need soakers then you need longies then you need shorties then you need footies then you need knitteds then you need interlock then you need matching shirts oh and do not forget the cute soft soled matching shoes. Most rec changing the wool every diaper change and air drying the wool. Well in one day for us that was ALOT of wool changes and well now you have to change the shirt to match. But it is so cute!!! |

Re: What do you NOT like about wool?
I know this what don't you like but have to say my son got spaghetti sauce ALL OVER the white trim of his longies. It rinsed right out leaving no stain behind. Now you just cannot say that for any other white clothing, child or adult.

Re: What do you NOT like about wool?
I will say I hate when there are poopsplosions that get on the wool. With a good fitted thought that rarely happens. When I use prefolds it gets old. I don't handwash though. I throw it all in the machine and wash and spin and it dries very quickly that way. I wish I didn't like wool but I love it. I will say I get annoyed sometimes with the reactions from people IRL. No it's not itchy, no he's not hot...I just want to get groceries!

Good tips everyone on the washing machine spin. I am always scared to do that for fear of felting or shrinking. My washer spins so fast. But its only hot water that felts right?
